Implications of Amiga OS 3.1 source code leak

I cant see how any of it would matter at all. Most everything Amiga related has expired patents. What could any legal team even do at this point? 3.X is no longer being developed and whoever holds the rights should just make a public statement to have at it and improve on what you can. The community of developers that can even make use of this stuff is so small that it should be a no brainer to let them look and give back.

Yeah; McEwen got his money-tap turned off ages ago, didn't he?  When Petti Kouri died?  I doubt he could mount much of an offense against anyone doing anything with OS3.1 at this point.  That's even assuming he ever had paper rights to it anyway which I doubt.

As far as I understand, Cloanto own the 68k OS now not Amiga Inc.  Perhaps Amiga Inc leaked it out of spite? Lol

Ha!  Did not know Cloanto held sole rights.  Yeah that would be a funny turn of events, although I doubt they have anyone on their side who'd know what they were looking at if they weren't told directly what it was and provided extensive documentation...
